Abstract

A flexible, symmetrical, MOS integrated circuit structure and layout employing a unit cell approach for customized wiring. Special features include multiple contacts on individual source/drain elements, rectilinear interconnections in the X- and Y- directions, and interconnection underpasses integral with the source and drain regions of the individual devices. The structure is especially applicable to complementary MOS integrated circuits of large complexity.
